Bomb blast hits Egypt police station, one killed

Updated Wednesday, July 24th 2013 at 11:42 GMT +3 Mansoura, Egypt:  A police station in the Egyptian city of Mansoura has been hit by a bomb blast which reportedly left one person dead and a dozen others injured.
Both policemen and civilians were hurt by a timed bomb hidden under a truck.

In the capital, Cairo, unidentified gunmen shot dead two supporters of the deposed President, Mohammed Morsi.
About 100 people have been killed in weeks of clashes between Mr Morsi's backers and opponents since the army forced the president out of office.
The BBC's Quentin Sommerville in Cairo says the latest violence is a worrying sign that Egypt's political crisis is intensifying.
The killing of two pro-Morsi demonstrators in Cairo follows a familiar pattern, with both sides in the dispute having been attacked in this way, our correspondent adds.
Supporters of the ousted president have been attending regular rallies near Cairo University in the capital, as well as demonstrations elsewhere in Egypt.
Mr Morsi has been held at an undisclosed location without charge since army chief Gen Abdul Fattah al-Sisi announced his removal on 3 July.
